The Party Purse

I am constantly on the watch for the perfect party purse. My criteria are: black, slim and small, must have a short shoulder strap. I have these criteria because black matches everything, particularly since most of my party-wear is black. I don’t want to tote some huge bag around teeny college hallways, but at the same time it must be able to fit all of my stuff. My can’t go to parties without list includes: phone, keys and onecard, state ID, credit card, insurance card (just in case!), lip gloss, and depending on where I’m going and what they’re serving a waterbottle. Now, I think the shoulder strap is most important. I am not the best at keeping track of my stuff, so I like having something I can swing over my shoulder and be done with. With a clutch, I’d set it down instantly and everything would be gone. A wristlet can bump into my cup and clumsy me will spill it all over my dress. And a crossboy would get in the way of dancing, not to mention terribly easy to pick-pocket. And thus, the perfectly slim but roomy black should strap purse emerges ahead of all other handbags. The delima? I’m too frugal to spend $200+ on a tiny bag and too snobby to buy something a Target. And thus, I’m stuck. However, if I could bring myself to pay a whopping $325, I would buy this Tory Burch.

This purse is classic and could never go out of style, however I still can’t imagine blow a week’s paycheck on that teensy amount of leather.
